Seminar on bulk metal forming

The practical seminar on bulk metal forming provides a general insight into forming technology – and bulk metal forming and FEM simulation in particular. The target group of the one- to three-day workshop includes young professionals in the forging industry and sales staff in mechanical engineering companies.

The seminar offers an optimal mixture of theory and practice, covering the fundamentals of bulk metal forming, the pros and cons of various forming machines as well as the Finite Element Method (FEM) and its practical application. The workshop content also includes an introduction into various simulation programmes, such as Forge NxT, LS-DYNA, Simufact or AnsysMechanical. In the practical part, the participants will carry out their own FEM simulations and attend forging experiments.

To guarantee utmost individual support, the number of participants is limited to six persons maximum. Single trainings will be offered on request.
